JOCKEY BADLY HURT

IN DANGEROUS SPILL

ONLY THREE PONIES STARTED IN THE CHAMPIONS STAKES AT THE VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. KING'S WARDEN WON FROM DIANA BAY, WITH COSSACK'S BEAUTY THIRD.

There was a field of nineteen starters in the first race to-day, the Leighton Hill Stakes, in which Mr. Ip Kui-ying steered Atomie Star to victory to pay backers $27.40. Happy Venture, ridden by Mr. Harris, was only a length behind in second place, and paid a dividend of $78.60. Mr. Frost, riding Election Day, had to be content with third place.

Mr. H. A. de Botelho was hurt when, in the Jockey Cup event, for novices, he was thrown from High Honour at the Valley this afternoon. The pony was in the leading bunch when Mr. Botelho became unseated. The field passed over him, and he lay on the course for some time, but was later carried off. Apparently his injury was not serious.

A medical examination at the track showed that Mr. de Botelho sustained a fractured arm and severu con- cussion,

As expected, the Ladies' Purse-was won by Wild Life, ridden by Mr. Frost, which came in two lengths ahead of Rose-Queen (Mr. Leighton up), with Tyne, ridden by Mr: Black, in third place. The

Groton, Conn., Feb. 23. The Marine Shipbuilding Workers of America, affiliated with the C.LO., have ordered a stay-in strike in the Electric Boat Company plant here, curtailing but not halting work on submarines building for the United States Navy.

Officials said they would ask for a detail of marines to guard the property should any attempt be made to damage the plant. At the moment the strikers are not in an ugly mood, but the situation is tense, since the plant is working exclusively on secret Government contracts. For this reason stern measures are anticipated if negotiations for collective bargaining fail and the workers will not evacuate

New Four-Power Pact Must Await Italian Consent

Vienna, Feb. 23.
